Runaway Championship leaders Wolves are interested
in Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere, according to reports. Wilshere is out of contract at Arsenal this
summer and looks destined for a move away from the Emirates. And now the bookies have Wolves, who secured
promotion to the Premier League last weekend, among the favourites to sign the England international. Everton are frontrunners for the 26-year-old
but Wolves could provide strong competition for the Toffees.
Wilshere has been offered a new contract at
Arsenal, though it is believed to include a significant wage cut. The midfielder is prone to injury, meaning
regular football at the Emirates, even when fit, is not guaranteed. And bookmakers Ladbrokes believe Molineux
could be Wilsheres next home. Its looking increasingly likely Wilshere
will finally be moving on this summer, and the latest odds suggest Wolves could be shock
contenders for his signature, said Alex Apati of Ladbrokes.
Losing Wilshere could be a huge blow for Arsenal
manager Arsene Wenger as he looks to fight his way back into the Premier League top four. The Frenchman wants to keep Wilshere but knows
its out of his control. I can only reassure him that I want him
to stay and we have made him a proposal and after that we also have to accept that Jack
is at an age where he will have offers from somewhere else, Wenger said last month. Personally, I have put my weight in for
him to stay, I push him to stay and I think hes an Arsenal man..
